Earlier today UK PM Theresa May met with Angela Merkel in Berlin to pave the way for a second delay of article 50 in frint of the extra EU Council Top Meeting Summit tomorrow.

Last week Theresa May sent a letter woth a request of a delay to 30 June and she now needs all 27 EU countries to agree, or we might have a no deal hard Brexit on Friday this week (April 12).

Right now Theresa May is in a meeting with the other EU power house, France, where she is having discussions woth President Macron in Paris.

EU leaders have said that UK needs to come up with a plan within 24 hours to get the delay. They have also discussed to offer a longer delay, to the end of the year – an option that UK has difficulty in excepting.

It will be a historical meeting tomorrow, either way the outcome will be.

Today PM Theresa May heads to Berlin and Paris to sell her request for an article 50 Brexit delay to 30 June 2019.

The two meetings are extremely important preparations ahead of the crunch extra summit of EU leaders on Wednesday.

Risking a possible renewed leadership challenge from furious Brexit-supporting backbenchers, the prime minister will ask Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron to throw their weight behind a plan to delay Brexit until June.

The PM will argue that she can deliver an agreement with Labour to seal a final leave deal.

Her mission comes after parliament last night passed the Cooper-Letwin bill which legally binds May to seek a delay.

However, Britain could still crash out of the EU on Friday if not all 27 EU leaders agree on an extension in Brussels on Wednesday.
